//! `benilla` — a from-scratch World of Warcraft 1.12.1 client on Bevy, talking to a local vmangos server.
//!
//! Opens the vanilla patch chain from wherever the install is (`$WOW_DATA`, the project folder on a
//! dev build, else beside the binary — decision 1175) and streams the world around the
//! player through Bevy's `AssetServer` (the `benilla-assets` `mpq://` pipeline): ADT terrain tiles within
//! `$WOW_TILE_RADIUS` — their splat-blended ground (tiling `$WOW_TEX_TILES`), doodads/WMOs, water, and
//! ground clutter — plus the avian colliders the character controller walks on. Lit by a time-of-day WoW
//! lighting model (`Light.dbc` sampled against the server clock) with a sky dome, sun/moon discs, and
//! distance fog; a faithful `EffectGlow` bloom on top.
//!
//! In parallel a background thread ([`net`]) logs in (`$WOW_USER`/`$WOW_PASS`/`$WOW_HOST`, default
//! `one`/`pone`/`localhost`), enters the world, and streams object updates. NPCs and GameObjects
//! render as their real models (resolved from the display id via the creature/GameObject catalogs); other
//! players stay cyan cubes, and our own avatar is blue until we take third-person control of it.
//! **The world is loaded when a character enters it, and released when they leave** — the glue
//! screens have no world behind them (decision 0777). With no server there is no world: the client
//! sits at the login screen, which is what the real one does. The scene harness (`$WOW_CAPTURE`)
//! boots straight in-world and is unaffected.
//!
//! Controls: WASD walks the avatar; right-drag turns it, left-drag orbits the camera (both
//! hide/freeze the cursor while held), scroll wheel zooms. Those are all **bindings** now (0997) —
//! rebindable, and nothing in the client squats on a bare key beside them (1043). The dev chord
//! (`Ctrl`+`Shift`) + `F` toggles free-fly, then WASD flies the camera with Space up / C down and
//! `Ctrl` boosts — a boost that exists only inside free-fly, itself behind the chord.

// **A player build's dead code is the seam working, not a defect.** With `--no-default-features`
// every symbol whose only caller is an instrument goes unused — the camera-park seam, the aim
// seam, the pool-slot identity, a dozen accessors the panel and the probes read. Warning about
// each one would bury a REAL warning in the one build nobody looks at daily, and the alternative
// (a `cfg` attribute per item) would spread seam knowledge back across the gameplay modules 1174
// spent its whole diff clearing it out of. Dev builds still warn normally.
